##### SUMMARY
<!-- Explain the problem/feature briefly -->
A feature was added in version 4.16 that allows the use of an SSH key
instead of a password when adding a host. See
https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/pull/5684. (Note that the SSH key path in
the pull request description isn't quite correct.)
The instructions for adding a host don't explain how to use an SSH key.

##### EXPECTED RESULTS
<!-- What did you expect to happen when running the steps above? -->
~~~
Here's a summary of the process that should be explained in the instructions.
- Copy the system key from /var/cloudstack/management/.ssh/id_rsa.pub on the
management server, and add it to the /root/.ssh/authorized_keys file on the
host. (You may use ssh-copy-id for this step, if desired.)
- If you're creating a new zone, you must fill in the password field when
providing information about the host. Enter any string in the password field.
It doesn't have to be a real password.
- If you're adding a new host to an existing zone, choose the "System SSH
Key" option.
